Default Just how private is your surfing?

It's quite difficult to come across mention of Google and it's Chrome browser without a wee comment on privacy.

But does compromised privacy start and stop with Google?

Here's a link (from 2007) I came across at Wilders:
http://cryptogon.com/?p=624

I, for one, am not too concerned about privacy since I'm not aware of walking on the wild side, other than indulging in an anti-authority moan once in a while. So Google doesn't bother me much.

Certainly not a comfortable read for those prone to paranoia!

I made the thread just in case someone, somewhere thought that merely not using Chrome would ensure their privacy.

The truly paranoid live in the mountains between two countries near where I live and they use carrier pigeons.

When you see this pic, you see your IP, OS and the browser that you're using.

Bring on the drones!

And they've given me a static IP (in Bombay) !!!!! Recognition at last!!!!

And my other ISP has also shown me with a static IP (in Delhi). I thought these were hard to get.
